New Dog

A colleague from a different part of the country sent me this. I must stress that this is not part of a new efficiency drive to reduce costs. Having said that, the food bill would reduce as we could go out catching chickens. The kennel space would be far smaller and only consist of a hole under the garden shed. I am beginning to think strategic here. There could be benefits somewhere. This would be a real plus with all the extra fox activity since the ban on hunting giving a seemingly endless supply.

"The Swan goes all flappy and honky". . . . a beautiful sentence that indicates you know far more about swans than you're letting on.Once called to deal with a similar situation. Control room said "Advice from the RSPCA is to grab it by the neck, wrap your arm around it's wings and transport it to open water"My immediate response was "If you f*****g think I'm f*****g going near that f*****g hell bird spat forth from the very mouth of hades then you got another f*****g think coming, get those lazy b******s to come and get the f*****g thing themselves if they know so f*****g much, I'm off!"Instead I keyed my mic and said "Ahhh, negative control, I fear I may damage the bird if I try to do so without training (subtext "Ahhh, negative control, I fear the bird may damage me if I try to do so without training. badly"), could you ask the professionals to attend and deal please!"Evil incarnate when roused to ill-temper, and no mistake.whale watching hervey bayionised water

"because they are too unfit to complete the maneuvers". I think "manoeuvres" is what you meant. Sorry to be picky but you dont want to shoot yourself in the foot on this one do you? Great blog keep it up!!!Las Vegas EscortRocks Off Naughty Boy

Opinions.

Any opinions contained are mine and mine alone. Many of them will not be those of any Police Force, Police Organisation or Police Service around this country. The opinions are based on many years of working within the field of practical operational Police work and reflect the desire to do things with the minimum of interference by way of duplication for the benefit of others who themselves do not do the same job. I recognise that we all perform a wide range of roles and this is essential to make the system work. If you don't like what you see remember you are only one click on the mouse away from leaving.

About Me

I know enough to know that at 04.00am it gets dark out on the streets. It has done this for the last twenty odd years, to my knowledge and will probably continue for the forseeable future. At some stage in this 'future' I shall retire and probably won't give a damn if it still gets dark at 04.00am.
Until then I shall be out there, somewhere, lurking in the shadows because someone, somewhere will be doing stuff they shouldn't and then, well then I will introduce myself. In the meanwhile I shall try to remain sane and remember why I joined in the first place and try to ignore all the people who piss me off by making the job more complicated than it should be.
